101 Things... in 1001 Days

I've been an avid blog reader for quite some time, mostly with a little push from my lovely friend Allison. So when I came across this great idea here, I jumped at the chance to get Allison involved... So we both created our lists and started our 1001 days.. See her
list here!

It took a LOT longer to come up with 101 things than I thought it would. They all had to be things that were a bit far reaching, but not totally unattainable in about 2.75 years time. Some are fun and on there simply to create new memories and some push me a bit further.
